Animal Sounds - We have been using farm animal sounds to help us learn about speech bubbles 🐷🐔🐴

Moira Farm Shop

P1 used 1p coins to buy 2 items from Moira Farm Shop. We used our knowledge of adding 2 sets to find the total amount.

Farm Map - Features of a farm 🐔🐷

We discussed the different features of a farm and then worked with a partner to draw our own map of a farm.

On the Farm 🚜🌽🐄

This term our topic in P1 is the farm. We will be learning all about the different animals on the farm, where they live and their jobs.

Phonics- P1 have been working hard on blending their sounds to make words and spotting digraphs.

Adding 2 sets of numbers

We have been learning about plants absorbing water from the soil. We are carrying out an investigation to see how the roots of a plant absorb water from the soil. We placed celery into different coloured water. Over the next week we will explore what happens to each celery stick.

ICT- P1 pupils used PowerPoint to add text to a speech bubble to complete the story Oliver’s Vegetables

P1 were set a challenge from Jack to help him build a new beanstalk to reach the castle again. Each group selected the material they would like to use to build a tall tower. We used the language long, short, the same, thick and thin.

Ordinal number and shape work 🔺🟥🔴

We had to identify the correct 2D shape and put it on the correct position on the track. We identified position correctly from first to tenth.
